Kobe Bryant Appreciation thread

[bigfoot5415]

Does anyone remember the huge rock he had to buy for his wife to make up for his rape? It was 7 figures, for a ring.

I can imagine him asking "okay, babe, what do I gotta buy you to calm you down?"

This one lol? It sure is cheaper than a divorce.

I'm not sure you guys know what "appreciation" means.

It was a $4,000,000 (2003 dollars) "Im sorry for the rape" 'Apology' ring.

Wow. I didnt realize she was only 19/20 at the time (she's 33 now)

Well, I interpreted it as in the "I can appreciate the gravity of the situation... I can appreciate the level of misery my actions have caused."

appreciate
əˈpriːʃɪeɪt,-sɪ-/
verb

1. 
   recognize the full worth of.
   "she feels that he does not appreciate her"
   
   
   
2. 
   understand (a situation) fully; grasp the full implications of.
   "they failed to appreciate the pressure he was under"

It's just lame that people have given this guy a pass, when others in the same situation and same problems (Mike Tyson) didn't get a pass. Watching all this polite "looking the other way" and celebrating a rapist just seems... unsavory.

Thanks for educating me.

I'm not even a Kobe fan. I'm just paying respects to a great players last game/year. If you want to make a Kobe hate thread, go ahead. I'm just trying not to be a hater.

Mods, you can lock this up. I didn't know the thread was going to be about Tim Duncan, rape, and slander. Not really my intention.

Ccurry absolutely hates gays.

How many threes does he have tonight?

Dray is even more adamant about it.

How many games has their team won

 

[Zog]

Kobe is sure going down a gunner. Dude's got 45 points on 45 shot attempts...

 

[Pyro]

WHAT A DISPLAY

 

[Ohio]

Oh my fucking god this is awesome.

I don't even like Kobe, but please win this game. Get a game winner man.

 

[Birdy89]

He has been in legit Mamba mode for about 2 minutes now. Nice to see him go out on a high.

 

[flop]

Killing it! Pretty fucking cool what he's doing for the crowd

 

[Pyro]

PUTTING ON A FUCKING SHOW

 

[buckeyefan]

This is by far the most fun I've had watching the NBA this year.

 

[Ohio]

This might be the coolest fucking thing I've ever seen.

 

[Zog]

This is nuts... most fun I've ever had watching Kobe.

 

[Stark]

Better than any Cavs game I've watched all year.
